The Ocho

This card has been tucked away in a showcase in my basement or I would have featured it sooner.  It is an octo-patch from Topps Five Star and is numbered out of 5.  It features a lot of the top outfielders in baseball including Andrew Mccutchen.  If you get a chance take a look on Ebay at some of these cards.  Some cool combos of players young and old.

Sorry about the quality of the pictures I've been posting lately.  Most have been straight from my phone as I have a young daughter who doesn't allow me much time with my desktop computer and scanner.

As always hit me up if you want to trade.  I have lots of cards that haven't made it to my trade bait link, so just ask if you are looking for a certain player or team.

Thanks for reading!  I'll soon be having a contest as a thank you to everybody who checks out the blog on a regular basis.  Just need to figure out what the prize will be.  Everybody has been awesome in helping me gain followers and establishing trade partners.  Look forward to continued fun and reading about all the great cards everybody has.

  1. Wow, that's a totally ridiculous group of patches! Nice to see high-quality pieces on a low-numbered card for once. Not a bad one in the bunch.

    1. Topps did a good job with most of the octo patch cards. I think the majority that I've seen have been "premium" type of patches.

    1. Thanks Nathan! Mccutchen had a version of this card in 2012 as well, but having Harper and Trout on this one put it over the top for me. It was expensive, but I used some Christmas money and Ebay Bucks to soften the blow.

    1. I still like your vintage cards better! I'm always jealous of vintage collections. My hope is to sell off my Steelers collection this year and start dabbling in some old Pirate cards.
